Requesting and Receiving Devices

• Device Ordering Requirements
• Roving Edge Infrastructure Device Usage Guidelines

Work with your Oracle account representative to have a Roving Edge device shipped to your location.

The representative provides you with a unique activation code. Save the code. You need the code to self-provision the device.

For Roving Edge Ultras: Depending on your OCI realm, the representative might not provide you with a unique activation code. If provided, save the code, otherwise, go to the next task.

(Before you receive the device)

Decide if you want to use the default generated self-signed certificate, or if you want to use another certificate management service such as the OCI Certificate Management service.

(Before you receive the device)

Prepare your tenancy to support new devices:

1. Identify or create compartments for the devices.

2. Create IAM groups and policies for the devices. Even if you've previously configured Roving Edge policies, review the required policies. There's a new policy required for self-provisioning a device.

• Identify or Create Compartments for Devices
• Create Required IAM Groups and Policies

Create a device node in your OCI tenancy for each device that you've requested.

Submit the node request to Oracle.

• For Roving Edge devices, see Creating and Submitting a Node for Compute, GPU, and Storage Devices.

• For Roving Edge Ultras, see the following sections:

  • Creating a Roving Edge Ultra Node
  • Submitting a Roving Edge Ultra Node Request

Set up the device. This includes inspecting, cabling, connecting to a host, powering on, and self-provisioning the device.
